The excess mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) throughout the pandemic remains unclear. This prospective cohort study based on Japanese nationwide registry included 1632 SOTRs diagnosed with COVID-19 between February 1, 2020, and July 31, 2022, categorized dominant phases variants concern (VOCs): Waves 1 to 3 (Beta), 4 (Alpha), 5 (Delta), 6 (Omicron BA.1/BA.2), 7 BA.5). Excess COVID-19-affected was analyzed by calculating standardized...
BACKGROUND:Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality for liver transplant recipients. Although the CMV pp65 antigenemia (AG) assay has been widely used to monitor patients infection after transplantation, real-time PCR is becoming standard procedure. The World Health Organization (WHO) International Reference Standard quantification become available standardize values diagnostic infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Our in-house was standardized using WHO reagents....
To investigate factors, including psychosocial associated with alcoholic use relapse after liver transplantation (LT) for disease (ALD).The clinical records of 102 patients ALD who were referred to Nagoya University Hospital LT between May 2003 and March 2015 retrospectively evaluated. History alcohol intake was obtained from their scored according the High-Risk Alcoholism Relapse scale, which includes duration heavy drinking, types amount usually consumed, previous inpatient treatment...
BACKGROUND:We reported a strategy of thrombophilia testing-guided venous thromboembolic events (VTE) prophylaxis for living donors liver transplantation in 2011. The aim the present study was to evaluate safety and efficacy this protocol VTE prophylaxis. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Thrombophilia testing, including protein S (PS), C (PC), antithrombin (AT) III, anti-phospholipid antibody (APLA), performed 306 donor candidates between July 2005 June 2016. Donors who met any criteria PS <60%, PC <64%,...
Abstract Background Long‐term outcomes after endoscopic treatment of post‐transplant biliary complications have not been fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact on graft survival right‐lobe living‐donor liver transplantation (R‐LDLT). Method From a single‐institutional prospectively maintained database, all patients who underwent R‐LDLT between 1999 and 2017 were included. Data patient demographics, complications, treatment, retrieved for analyses. Results Among 111 R‐LDLT,...
Hepatic hemangioma is one of the most common benign liver tumors. There are few published reports regarding transplantation using allografts with hemangioma.A 45-year-old man was evaluated as a living donor for 19-year-old son cirrhosis due to hepatic fibrosis. Preoperative investigations revealed 20 and 7mm hemangiomas, at segment 2 (S2) 4 (S4) respectively. Considering anatomical relation S2 Glisson 2, graft designed left lobe excluded by partial resection. Estimated recipient weight ratio...
BACKGROUND Around 20-30% of patients who undergo liver transplantation (LT) for alcoholic disease (ALD) will resume heavy drinking after LT. It is crucial to control post-transplant relapse alcohol use, because recidivism has been shown have a negative impact on compliance and long-term outcomes LT recipients. However, there currently no specific, effective psychiatric intervention preventing additional consumption in clinical practice. CASE REPORT We present 3 underwent ALD at Nagoya...
Organ transplantation from a brain death donor on mechanical circulatory support is rare. We report case in which donor, supported by left ventricular assist device (LVAD), unexpectedly displayed significant congestive fibrosis of the liver.
BACKGROUND Prolonged-release tacrolimus (Tac QD) is widely used in organ transplantation. However, the conversion from twice-daily BID) to Tac QD Japan usually done stable patients months or years after liver The aim of this study was assess early during transplant hospital stay. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen transplants (excluding pediatric) were performed 2014-2015. All cases except 2 early-expired enrolled. Our standard immunosuppression oral BID and steroid taper, we add mycophenolate...
BACKGROUND:Hepatitis C recurrence is a serious matter after liver transplantation (LT). Approximately 10% of hepatitis virus (HCV) positive recipients develop fibrosing cholestatic (FCH). FCH rapidly results in graft loss. Currently, direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are effective and safe for C, even LT. However, only few cases successfully treated LT have been reported. We present complicated case with sepsis portal flow obstruction CASE REPORT:A 66-year-old man underwent cadaveric Liver...
Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been developed as a widely available and noninvasive method for detecting evaluating hepatic iron overload. This case report presents successful living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in which the was suspected to have deposition by MRI evaluation. A preoperative biopsy genetic examination were performed exclude hereditary hemochromatosis other chronic diseases. showed an almost normal specimen with slight of 2-3% hepatocytes, revealed no...
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Stage 4S neuroblastoma a unique subset of characterized by favorable course and potentially low malignancy with high rate spontaneous regression. However, recent reports have shown that there subgroup patients stage MYCN amplification, chromosomal aberrations, age < 2 months at diagnosis, significantly poorer outcomes.A 1-month-old male infant huge abdominal was transferred to our hospital diagnosed neuroblastoma. The...
